Correctly diagnosing the cancer subtype will be determinative for the success of the entire further treatment. Did you know that, for example, of breast cancer at least 5 subtypes exist that each require a different treatment strategy?
Recent studies have shown that the number of erroneous diagnoses is surprisingly higher than was previously assumed. Since the treatment strategy is determined by the diagnosis, an inaccurate diagnosis may lead to a wrong therapy.
Asking for a second assessment of your biopsy is not a sign of distrust of your treating physician. More and more doctors and scientific papers recommend mandatory second assessment of biopsies where major medical or surgical therapies are involved.

Being diagnosed with a malignant tumor has a tremendous impact on the patient's life. The diagnosis of cancer, including determining the cancer subtype, is always made by a pathologist. (Histo)pathology is a critically important medical specialization, yet most people have never heard of it.
We at biopsy.me aim to bring the pathologist closer to the patient. We believe that giving patients the possibility to obtain a second opinion on their cancer diagnosis is meaningful and useful, especially when it involves medical or surgical treatment.
Our mission is to foster better treatment decisions and improve patient care by providing our pathologist services and expertise to patients worldwide. Our network of board certified pathologists offers a broad clinical pathology experience and guarantees reliable and timely diagnosis for each form of tumor.
